*2008 APRA-NW Annual Conference*
Date: Monday, June 09, 2008
Time: 08:30 AM - 03:30 PM
Location: University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA
Registration details: http://www.apra-nw.org/calendar/2008conference

APRA-NW is pleased to announce the 2008 Annual APRA-NW Conference to be
held Monday, June 9th at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma,
Washington.
**DELIVERING THE BIG PICTURE IN THE INFORMATION AGE**
Increasingly, the most successful non-profits are turning to complex
data analysis to inform their actions. Slicing and dicing data, whether
at individual or aggregate levels, has long been the domain of the
prospect researcher. As our systems grow more sophisticated, there needs
to be a corresponding awareness of the information needs and behavior of
the frontline fundraisers. Otherwise, we risk information overload and
shut down. How can we create collaborative partnerships with frontline
fundraisers by understanding and conveying the big picture?
The 2008 APRA-NW annual conference will focus on two aspects of the big
picture: presenting actionable information from a jumble of facts and
understanding the economic environment for fundraising in the Pacific
Northwest. Find out how to be a key player in increasing the
effectiveness of your organization?s fundraising efforts by cultivating
the big picture.
*PROGRAM DETAILS*
*Keep Their Eyes On The Prize: Presenting Complicated Information & Data
To People Who Don't Know What You're Talking About*
Dan Lowman, Senior Consulting Vice President at Grenzebach Glier &
Associates
We've all seen it: You're jumping up and down because you found a
fascinating nugget of data in a prospect record or uncovered a really
cool trend in your analytics, but when you show it to a frontline
fundraiser their eyes glaze over. Or the look on everyone's face after
the 12th color-coded pie chart about something. Presenting data is a
skill just as important as collecting it, and is critical to ensuring
that data is acted upon. This session, loaded with case studies,
examples from fundraising and beyond, and practical guidance, will focus
on making information actionable and placing the prospect researcher at
the center of a data-driven organization.
*Economic Outlook for Fundraising in the Pacific Northwest*
Bill Conerly, principal of Conerly Consulting LLC, chief economist of
abcInvesting.com
This presentation is focused on the current issues of greatest concern
to non-profit executives, fundraisers, and researchers. It includes
informed commentary on current events and anecdotes about challenges all
of us face, such as how recessions impact the fundraising environment
and the build-up of wealth in upper end families. Humor is a Conerly
trademark ("Never cut out jokes to make room for more statistics," he
says), helping to make complex subjects understandable.
*Topical Roundtables*
Network with some of the best researchers in the country, rising stars,
and brand new researchers. APRA-NW members and non-members learn from
each other?s victories and defeats in an open and collegial atmosphere.
*Other Conference Details*

Subject: [APRA-NW] APRA International Scholarships and Awards
Message-ID:
Good morning everyone...
This is a reminder that tomorrow is the deadline for
applications/nominations for the APRA International Awards. As a member
of this year's APRA International and APRA-NW scholarship committees I
want to encourage everyone to consider submitting an application or
nominations - even if it's for yourself. Please go to www.aprahome.org
to reveiw the qualifications and download the application/nomination
forms.
Having been selected as last year's winner of the APRA Scholarship, I
know how difficult it can be to fill out the paperwork and write the
essay - but I have to tell you - IT WAS SO WORTH IT! If it weren't for
the scholarship, I wouldn't have been able to attend the 2007 APRA
International Conference in Chicago, networked with other colleagues or
listened to such awesome speakers.
I also want to remind everyone - whether your official title it prospect
researcher, prospect manager, data analyst, data manager or whatever-
that any APRA International member in good standing qualifies for the
"APRA Researcher of the Year" Award...in other words - this award is not
just for researchers.
I know we have many highly qualified, distinguished, visionary members
in our APRA-NW membership...I would make me proud to see your
applications/nominations come through the committees.
Yours in service,
Donna
